===  Shortterm and midterm prospects of the alt-right ===

[[Vox Day]] argues the alt-right may see substantial growth in the shortterm and midterm due to immigration backlash and whites becoming a racial minority in the United States.  Day argues that right-wing parties in Europe started to grow quickly in Europe after they publicly dissociated themselves with neo-nazis. Day argues that alt-right can do the same. In addition, Day argues that Nazism is leftist and never has been right-wing.<ref>[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2004/04/left-wing-nazi.html The Leftwing Nazi]</ref>

Spencer claimed he was only joking and it was a display or irony and exhuberance. At the alt-right gathering, many alt-righters joined him in his Nazi salutes).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8VYmY89_KU The Alt Right - What went wrong?]</ref><ref>[http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/white-nationalist/ Nazi salutes ‘done in a spirit of irony and exuberance,’ alt-right leader says]</ref>
